\nThe Detroit Tigers and superstar Miguel Cabrera have agreed to terms on a new eight-year contract.<\/p>\n

Cabrera, 30, will have the eight-year extension tacked onto his current deal which has two years remaining. This means the Tigers will have Cabrera under contract for the next ten years at a total cost of $292 million.<\/p>\n

Miguel Cabrera’s deal will have AAV around $30 million, over at least 6 additional years beyond the 2 he has left on current contract.<\/p>\n
